ctypes and 3rd party dll

I am trying to call a function in a third party dll that spawns
anr exe and I am using ctypes. Python does not complain at all
but the other process does not get spawned. It appears that I am
gaining access to the functions but with no results. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
>>from ctypes import *
cdecl = cdll.LoadLibrary("c:\projects\python\geinterface.d ll")
cdecl._GE_Connect
<_FuncPtr object at 0x00B7E378>
>>cdecl._GE_Connect()
0
>>cdecl._GE_IsConnected()
